FLY-BOARD.

To all to/mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOEL M. Bnnsn, citizen of the United States, residing at Woonsocket, in the county of Providence. and State of Rhode Island, have invented new and useful Improvements in F ly-Boards, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention pertains to fly boards such as are employed upon cap spinning machines; and it contemplates the provision of a fly board that is so constructed and arranged that the liability of lint collecting upon the board and being drawn into the yarn, as it passes through the pot eyes, and winding around the yarn, is reduced to a minimum. By virtue of this the production of slubby yarn-z'. 6., yarn having bunches or irregular large portions at intervals of its length is avoided.

lVith the foregoing in mind, the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan illustrating a fly-board constructed in accordance with my invention, and also illustrating pot eyes or yarn guides in said board. Fig. 2 is a section taken through one of the intermediate crossbars of the board in the plane indicated by the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section taken through the rear longitudinal bar of the fly board on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

My novel fly board is of skeleton form, and comprises a rear longitudinal bar A, of suflicient size in cross-section to lend stiflness and strength to the board, front longitudinal bars B that are comparatively small in cross-section, end cross-bars C that are also comparatively small in cross-section, and cross-bars D interposed between the rear longitudinal bar A and the front longitudinal bars 13 at intervals between the end cross-bars C; the whole constituting askeleton or open-work frame.

The intermediate cross-bars D respectively comprise a body portion a integral with and extending forward from the rear longitudinal bar A, a circular portion 6 at the forward end of the body portion, and spaced bars 0 disposed at opposite sides of the mouth (Z of circular portion 6 and join- Specification of Letters Patent.

by the yarn as the same passes through the usual kerfed pot eye or yarn guide E, disposed in the circular portion 6.

It will of course be understood from Fig.

1 that there is a pot eye or yarn guide E in the circular portion 6 of each of the intermediate cross-bars D.

The end cross-bars C, the front longitudinal bars B and the portions 6 and c of the intermediate cross-bars D are all of small size in cross-section there is no liability of lint collecting thereon and giving rise to the objectionable condition mentioned.

The rear longitudinal bar A is of general triangular form in cross-section, Fig. 3 and like the body portions (6 of the cross-bars D, is arranged with its apex uppermost, this to prevent lint lodging upon the bar A notwithstanding its size in cross-section.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that by reason of the construction of my novel fly-board there are considerable spaces or openings between the pot eyes and between the end pot eyes and the end crossbars, and hence there is not-hing for lint, dust, etc., to lodge or collect upon. Moreover if lint or dust fall upon the frame it will immediately fall off.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Pat cut, is:

1. The herein described fly-board comprising a continuous longitudinal bar, of triangular form in cross-section, arranged with its apex uppermost, end cross-bars, of comparatively small size in cross-section, longitudinal bars, of comparatively small size in cross-section, spaced from the firstnamed longitudinal bar, and intermediate cross-bars arranged at intervals between the end cross-bars; each of the said intermediate cross-bars being made up of a body portion, of triangular shape in cross-section and arranged with its apex uppermost, extending inward from the first-named longiport pot eyes and also having spaced portions connected with the front longitudinal bars and forming channels extending forward from the open portions; the parts of the said frame being constructed to prevent lint collecting thereon.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
